Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

I really liked this book, it manages to keep everything complicated in a simple and easy to follow format.

Summary

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit into the universe? How does the universe fit inside us? There is no better guide to these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.

But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe to Earth succinctly and clearly, with brilliant wit, in digestible chapters that can be consumed anytime, anywhere during your busy day. While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, or while you wait for the bus, train, or plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Rush will reveal exactly what you need to get fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the big bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.
